Hi Guys,

I have just attended one round which was a combination of both technical and HR, may be because of the time limitation.

Its for non IT position. All non IT guys were given offer letters immediately. 13500 according to qatar is just ok as qatar is very costly. A 2bhk unfurnished flat will cost around 6k, schooling minimum 500 QAR pm excluding transport.

Dear Newmaker,

I understand that you posted your concerns way back in 2011. Now, I also got an interview call from the same company, going to happen next week.

Are you working with WOQOD now? If so, can you please give me an overview about the company. Hope it is a good company to work with.

Thank you.

if you are getting that basic then you are offered a senior position.  with family status and all allowances in, you will be getting around qr25000 per month. now you can think about it.

Hi NewmakerBasic salary is no doubt very low being Engineer with good experience, hence you must negotiate a good package. However take my advise, as you are working in MNC in India which is a dream job for every Indian as your future is secured with fund, pension, other facilities. Hence never resigned and come here instead take few months leave sick/unpaid, and check how you manage here. If all went OK and you satisfy fully, then you can think for permanent stay here else at least you'll have an option to return peacefully.

Even truck drivers are getting salaries upto 8000 QR.. thn how they are offering you 8600 QR while you are a engineer with 6 yrs experince.. and remember qatar is very expensive in renting accomdation.. if you want to have a nice flat that will cost you minimum 6500 QR...

The basic salary is low.

As for other expenses

Housing will come to QR 6000 to 8000/- for a 2/3 bed room flat. QR 12,000/- above for villas.

Food expenses excluding dining out QR 3000/- min

Health insurance coverage very important.

Flight tickets and school fees are expensive so need to be negotiated

Be very clear about your salary AND benefits before you land in Doha. Cos once in you cannot change sponsorship
